RE: [PHP] Re: Is there a GoTo Page Function?
Andre, In your php database storage code, after ? but before anything else you can do a (!isset($name)) die (You need to fill in your name. Use the browser's back button and input this information.); Hope this helps.

Hi Hugh, Thanks - I can access the next page now. But I've got a new problem: even if the fields are all empty, a carriage return sends me off to the next form [Bad! Bad, form - that's not what I want you to do!] Where would you insert: if (!isset($name)) die (You need to fill in your name.

RE: [PHP] Re: Is there a GoTo Page Function?
You can also use JavaScript to redirect the user to another page. After your form has finished updating your database, do the following: ?php echo script language=\javascript\window.location.href='NEXT_PAGE.html';/script; ? Note: Your client's browser must support JavaScript for this to work. As suggested by Hugh, it's much better to use the php header(); tag. But, this will only work if you haven't already passed a header to your page.

Michael Kimsal http://www.phphelpdesk.com 734-480-9961 Thanks Michael, Again, my 'newbieness' is going to be very apparent. For the first option you referenced the 'action of the form tag' -- what is that? Do you mean, as in 'form action=demo.php method=get'? Your second suggestion sounds like what I want to achieve, but I'm not clear as to what you mean or refer to: have the form call itself -- How do I do that? And secondly, where would I put the header tag: with the calling form or the called form? Oh, it's so embarassing to know so little :) Tia, Andre -- Please pray the Holy Rosary to end the holocaust of abortion. Remember in your prayers the suffering souls in Purgatory.
